In transcriptions of orchestral music, which is usually pretty much the string bass part, when I see staccato marks, I play those with strong attack and taper off to achieve a pizzicato effect. It can be quite effective and I think is within the original idea of the composition. But other than that, if I wanted to sound like a string bass, I would play one. I think the question should be, since many old bands played a lot of orchestral transcriptions is: What Would Sousa Do?
